PART ONE - In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, a renowned integrative oncology expert and metabolic health pioneer, for a deeply personal and eye-opening conversation about cancer, resilience, and why so many people are getting diagnosed younger than ever before.

Dr. Nasha shares the story of her own terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis at age 19 and how being forced outside the conventional system led her to ask a different question, not just how to treat cancer, but why the body became vulnerable to it in the first place. What followed became the foundation of her life’s work.

Together, Dr. Jenn and Dr. Nasha explore the root causes driving modern cancer risk, from mitochondrial dysfunction and immune suppression to environmental toxins, vitamin D deficiency, chronic stress, trauma, and the cumulative burden of modern life.

This is part-one of a two-part conversation. If you have ever wondered why cancer is rising, why it is showing up earlier, or why true healing has to go beyond standard treatment, this episode is a must-listen.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why cancer is becoming more common in younger people
• The difference between chronological age and biological age
• How mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to cancer and accelerated aging
• Why immune suppression and vitamin D deficiency matter more than most people realize
• The role of environmental exposures, plastics, hormones, and EMFs in modern disease
• How trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation affect healing
• Why looking inward may be one of the most important steps after a diagnosis
• What it means when someone says, “I did everything right and still got cancer”
• Why prevention has to start long before disease appears

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons is joined by Jen Nolan and Sara Stratton of Remission Nutrition for a conversation that cuts through the noise around “healthy living” after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Jen explains how nutrigenomics (genetic-based nutrition + lifestyle guidance) helps women understand what their body actually needs, from detox capacity to fat metabolism to exercise tolerance. Dr. Jenn shares her own example: years of high-intensity endurance workouts that she thought were helping until genetic testing revealed they were doing real harm.

Sara shares her story of being diagnosed with stage 3C triple positive breast cancer at 37, and how she supported her body through chemotherapy and recovery using a metabolic approach, including fasting around treatment, strength training, mindfulness, and carefully chosen supplements. Together, they talk about how to make changes without overwhelm, avoid fear-based restriction and orthorexia, navigate resistance from conventional providers, and build a lifestyle that’s sustainable long-term - with joy included.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What nutrigenomics can tell you about food, detox, sleep, stress, and exercise
• Sara’s approach to supporting her body during chemo: fasting, movement, mindfulness, and recovery
• What to know about supplements during chemotherapy including why antioxidants can be tricky
• Why people get overwhelmed after diagnosis, and how to start with small, realistic steps
• The “crowding out” method: what to add first so healthy habits stick
• Common non-negotiables that move the needle fast (Diet soda + processed snack foods)
• How to avoid orthorexia and stop turning food into fear
• How to advocate for yourself when your oncologist dismisses integrative tools

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons talks with Loren Lockman, a longtime health coach and water-only fasting expert who has supervised fasts since 1996. Loren shares how fasting helped him recover from years of chronic illness and explains what the body is doing during a properly supported water fast - especially autophagy, fasting ketosis, and deep cellular repair.

They also dig into why Loren believes most people are chronically dehydrated, why he does not recommend juicing (even at home), how fasting can support healing across many conditions (including breast cancer support), and why the real key is not doing more - it is getting out of the body’s way with rest, simplicity, and a structured refeed.

What You’ll Learn

• What water-only fasting is, how it works, and why proper supervision matters
• How fasting activates autophagy and supports deep cellular cleanup
• The difference between fasting ketosis and the ketogenic diet
• How detoxification and immune function are connected to chronic disease
• The influence of the pharmaceutical industry on modern nutrition and health narratives
• Natural diet and lifestyle strategies that support longevity
• Plant-based nutrition, protein myths, and whole-food sourcing
• Why hydration, electrolyte balance, and water intake are critical during fasting
• Who should not fast (and who typically can)

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Dr. Vassily Eliopoulous, MD a former ER physician turned regenerative and longevity medicine expert for a bold conversation about what is broken in modern healthcare and what is quietly replacing it.

After years inside emergency medicine, Dr. Vass hit a moment that forced him to confront a hard truth: the system is built to manage crises, not create health. From hospital incentive structures to medical education shaped by patentable therapies, they expose why prevention, metabolic health, peptides, stem cells, and bioidentical hormones remain on the margins.

This episode dives into regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, GLP-1s beyond weight loss, immune resilience, the energetic drivers of disease, and why AI may amplify the need for true human connection in medicine.

If you have ever felt like “standard of care” is missing something, this conversation explains why and what comes next.

What You’ll Learn:

• The ER moment that made Dr. Vass walk away from conventional medicine
• Why hospitals are financially rewarded for procedures, not prevention
• The hidden reason non-patentable therapies rarely get taught
• What peptides (BPC-157, thymosin, GHK-Cu) actually do in the body
• How stem cells heal tissue and whether they increase cancer risk
• Why metabolic dysfunction drives cancer and chronic disease
• The overlooked role of stress and immune suppression in illness

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Reed Davis, founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), for a no-comfort conversation about why so many women are told they’re “fine” while they feel anything but.

Together, they unpack the lie hiding inside “normal labs,” why diagnosis-chasing keeps you stuck in symptom management, and what Reed calls metabolic chaos - the slow breakdown that happens when chronic stress, inflammation, hormone disruption, digestion issues, and toxic burden stack up for years… until the body finally crashes. They also break down epigenetics (and why family history is not a life sentence), plus what it really means to “change the environment your breasts are living in.”

This is a conversation about root cause, medical sovereignty, and the hard truth that health doesn’t happen in a doctor’s office, it happens at home.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why “normal labs” can still mean deep dysfunction
• The difference between treating a diagnosis and treating the person
• What “metabolic chaos” is and how it shows up as totally different symptoms in different people
• How epigenetics works (and how to use it to break family patterns)
• The FDN framework: HIDDEN stressors + DRESS (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, Supplementation)
• Why exercise and nutrition have to be individualized (and how the wrong plan backfires)
• Dr. Jenn’s perspective on prophylactic mastectomy and the underestimated cost of breast removal trauma

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons is joined by Dr. Erica Schwartz, a pioneer in hormone and integrative medicine, for a blunt conversation about menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and why women are still being denied care that protects their long-term health.

Together, they get real about why modern medicine still runs on a “wait until you’re sick” model, why hospitals can be the most dangerous place to heal, and how the system trains both doctors and patients to outsource responsibility. They break down the lasting damage of the Women’s Health Initiative, the fear-based messaging around estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and the real-world consequences of medical gatekeeping from pharmacies to hospitals. 

This is a conversation about truth, autonomy, and what it actually looks like to practice medicine from the whole-body, whole-life perspective.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why conventional medicine is built for acute care, not long-term health
• How the Women’s Health Initiative changed hormone care for generations of women
• Why “just deal with it” menopause advice is harmful (and wildly outdated)
• What estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually do in the female body
• Why testosterone for women is still restricted and why that matters
• How medical errors and hospital systems put patients at risk
• Why taking responsibility for your health isn’t optional anymore
